AND [thus it is:] We have not imparted to this [Prophet the gift of] poetry, nor would [poetry] have suited this [message]: it is but a reminder and a [divine] discourse, clear in itself and clearly showing the truth,

We have not taught him (the Messenger) poetry; further, it is not seemly for him. This is but a Reminder (teaching and admonishing), a Qur’an recited and conveyed (from God), clear in itself and clearly showing the truth.

(Know about the Prophet that) We have not taught him poetry, nor is it meet for his dignity. This is no less than a Divine Reminder and an Articulate Qur'an clear in itself and clearly showing the Way. (26:224).

We have not taught him (- the Prophet Muhammad the art of composing) verses, nor does it become him (to be a poet). This (Qur'an) is but a means to attain to eminence; a (Book) that is widely read, and tells the right from the wrong.

We did not teach him poetry! Nor is it befitting for him! It is only a reminder and a clear Quran!

Sayyed Abbas Sadr-Ameli

And We have not taught him poetry, nor would it beseem him; it is naught but a Reminder and manifesting Qur'?n,

Al-muntakhab fi tafsir al-Qur'an al-Karim

And We did not teach him poetry nor did We instruct him to play the poet or compose poetry nor does it befit him as a Messenger of Allah. What he discourses is indeed a divine message and nothing but a Quran that is intelligible, imparting illumination and enlightenment,
